Configuration, management, and monitoring tasks are performed using the Storage Management Utility (SMU) or Command Line Interface (CLI), both of which are embedded in MSA2000-family array controller firmware. For more information about these software utilities, see "Software information" (page 38). Functionality of the two user interfaces is similar, but presented in different console formats. HP recommends becoming familiar with and primarily using one of the two interfaces.
